Rezensionen

Part memoir, part manual and part sermon from the church of Lamott, this satisfying escape points to notes of beauty in our uncertain world

Praise for Almost Everything: Anne Lamott is a cause for celebration. [Her] real genius lies in capturing the ineffable, describing not perfect moments, but imperfect ones . . . perfectly. She is nothing short of miraculous

I keep learning a lot from the clear and great Annie Lamott. I think you will, too

Deftly and honestly explores the mental challenges of being a writer, and Lamott's advice is, simply put, invaluable

Like a feminist C.S. Lewis, [Lamott] talks about God, politics and other unmentionables, and gently exhorts her readers, as she does herself, to find joy in a bleak and chaotic world: a leftie guru of optimism

Anne Lamott has a rare talent for making writing look easy . . . Given the warmth, liveliness and intimacy of her prose, time with one of her books can feel like a visit with a friend

Superb writing advice . . . hilarious, helpful and provocative

A treasure trove of insight both practical and profound, timelessly revisitable and yielding deeper resonance each time

That is what the wise and wonderful Anne Lamott considers with uncommon self-awareness and generosity of insight throughout Almost Everything: Notes on Hope - the small, enormously soul-salving book that gave us Lamott on love, despair, and our capacity for change

A warm, generous and hilarious guide through the writer's world and its treacherous swamps
